Automated README summary
Automatically summarized from the README on 13 Oct 2026; not a run by jevbooks. Run instructions and author-reported outcomes still need verification.
What it is
Lintel is a change gate for AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI. The agent proposes a choice, Jev reviews it, and a human approves before any code is written.
How it uses Jev
Jev reviews the agent's proposal and the approved decisions, returning a verdict. For `lintel ask`, Jev picks among candidate options using declared dependencies, file tree, named files, and approved decisions. The verdict is shown in the tool's permission prompt or a decision window; the human approves or rejects.
Primitives:choice
Technique worth stealing
Gate agent actions behind a human-approved decision record that the agent cannot edit or self-approve.
Try it
Install via script, run `lintel login`, then `lintel init` in your project.
Model judgments from README excerpts
Project signals use repository metadata, an existing summary and the first 700 README characters, not the full project. “Not found” means not detected in that material; it does not establish absence. These are the original judgments with recorded models and dates, not source audits or run results.

Evidence
These signals use repository metadata, an existing summary and at most 700 cleaned README characters. ≥ 0.60 means reported in that excerpt; ≤ 0.40 means not found there. The middle band is inconclusive. None is a source-code audit or a test result. The runnable-tool question excludes research experiments; the recommendation question asks for a learning shortlist, not a quality verdict.
